Selena Gomez finally experienced the magic of prom, thanks to her fiancé, Benny Blanco.
The singer has been working in Hollywood since she was a child and never had the chance to attend prom as a teenager. Blanco, ever the romantic, decided to change that.
SELENA GOMEZ AND BENNY’S PROM NIGHT
Four months into their engagement, Blanco surprised Gomez with a DIY prom night, according to Daily Mail.
He shared a video on Instagram, captioning it: “My fiancee has never been to prom before… so I asked her if we should take prom photos together at a mall… she said yes!”
The video shows Blanco, 37, pacing in a tuxedo, before asking Gomez to prom. He then “rented a limo” to take them to a local mall for prom pictures.
SELENA GOMEZ’S PROM LOOK
Gomez looked stunning in a puffy purple ball gown, paired with black heeled boots and a fur coat. She completed the look with a black choker and glam hair and makeup.
Blanco was smitten, and after sharing a kiss, the couple hopped into the limo for a ride through Hollywood.
Blanco even rolled down the window to announce to fellow drivers that they were “going to prom!”
At the mall, they posed for photos in front of a blue watercolour backdrop. Blanco even had Gomez sit on his back for one playful shot, “it was more fun that either of us expected,” Blanco admitted.
CELEBRATING PASSOVER
The couple’s prom came shortly after they celebrated Passover with celebrity friends. Blanco, born Benjamin Joseph Levin, even spun some tunes at the celebration.
The couple, along with their guests, sang their song Bluest Flame.
SELENA GOMEZ AND BENNY’S RELATIONSHIP
Selena Gomez and Blanco got engaged in December 2024, after dating for a year and a half. Blanco has joked about wedding planning.
“I think every day she’s planned a new wedding in her head.” He added, “We’re very much ‘take it one day at a time’-type of people.
A COUPLE IN LOVE
We’re still not over this moment while you were talking, Selena Gomez was sitting there staring at her ring.”
Later, Blanco shared, “It feels like we got engaged yesterday, but also feels like we got engaged 20 years ago.”
He expressed regret that they didn’t get together sooner, saying, “My biggest regret is that we didn’t get to do this earlier, like we waited this long to be together. But I know it was perfect and it was right.”
